Morgridge Institute for Research
Current Openings:
Assistant Professor in Metabolism Research
The Morgridge Institute for Research, in partnership with the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, seeks a joint tenure track assistant professor to lead a vibrant metabolism-focused research program.
Assistant Research Specialist
The Sun group utilizes zebrafish, and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of heart muscle and the crosstalk between organ systems during tissue regeneration. The primary focus of this position is regeneration research with duties involving (but not limited to) molecular biology, histology, surgeries, explant culture, imaging, microinjection, and imaging and analysis, with opportunities for co-authorships on published manuscripts.
Assistant Scientist
We are seeking a highly motivated scientist with published experience in animal research, imaging, and/or histological techniques, with an exceptional background in molecular biology. The Poss lab utilizes zebrafish and, occasionally, mice as model systems to study regeneration of appendages, heart muscle, spinal cord, and other organ systems. The Assistant Scientist will support regenerative biology research objectives by conducting research on molecular genetics of tissue regeneration.
Postdoctoral Research Associate – Metabolism, Biotechnology and Functional Genomics
In the Cantor lab, our guiding hypothesis is that existing model systems have masked critical insights into human cell-environment interactions. We test this through a variety of approaches at the interface of basic biology and engineering – integrating our efforts in tool development with methods in biochemistry, systems biology, functional genomics, and chemical genetics. Our broad goals are to better understand the role of environmental factors in basic human cell physiology and drug sensitivity – with a particular focus on blood cancers and normal immune cells.
Systems Integration Intern – Student Position
